Levelling the soil For the best possible preparation, the front tyre packer levels the soil, crushes large clods and thus paves the way for the optimum depth control of the following tools. The front tyre packer has a diameter of 800mm and can be lifted hydraulically when it is not needed. Preparing the seedbed Either two rows of conical disc like from a short disc harrow create the seedbed over the entire working width or waved straight minimum disturbance MD disc prepare a mini-seedbed only stripewise in front of the CD coulter. The MD discs are ideal to work after cover crops but also in pre-cultivated soil. Due to the hydraulic system, the disc harrow and MD disc section can be adjusted with continuous variability from the tractor cab.
Consolidation before sowing The loosened soil is consolidated by large tyre packers. Perfect depth control of the coulters and an optimum seed-to- soil contact ensure an excellent capillary action. The large tyre diameter of 900mm significantly reduces the required tractive power. Sowing at uniform depth The heart of the machine is its coulters. The narrow profile of the coulters with their slightly offset steel discs allows easy penetration into the soil. Nearly all the coulter pressure (as much as 100kg) can be used on the integrated press wheels. The result: uniform seeding depth even at high working speeds.
Covering the seeds Harrowing the soil completes the seeding. S-shaped or finger harrows ensure an optimum covering of the seeds. The working intensity can be set by the stepless pressure adjustment and at three different angles. To prevent damage to the harrow when reversing, it is equipped with an effective reversing device.
